Regina Cassandra, who is set to make her Bollywood debut with Anees Bazmee's 'Aankhein 2', feels it is a major achievement for any southern actress to make it to the Hindi film industry. In an interview, the actress said, "For most southern actresses, entry to Bollywood is their ultimate dream. It's considered a big feat because it's a bigger platform and the reach is wide. I never expected to be making any Bollywood debut on such a big platform."
Regina said 'Aankhein 2' wasn't planned and it was a "out of the blue" moment for her. "I was in Mumbai to audition for another film and my pictures got circulated. A week later, I got a call from an agency and I was told that the makers of 'Aankhein 2', impressed by my pictures, wanted to meet me. I hopped on a flight to Mumbai, went and met the producer, heard the story and I was signed on within a day." Talking about her character, she said, "It's an interesting character. She's a nice person at heart, but some circumstances change her. It's a con-heist thriller and I'm excited to be sharing screen space with a big star cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Arjun Rampal and Ileana D'Cruz."
